This is interesting as it will solve the issue that teminals normally all
having the same background color. So thanks for this.

(1) It is a pity that devilsie is not better integrated into XFCE. e.g. in
Windowmaker many of these things are standard for each and every program.
Add or remove border, Stick it to a screen and other things. It is the one
